    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I just realized that paper straws are an extinct breed. I remember going to Willie's Wienie Wagon as a kid and getting a bottle o Pepsi out of the outside cooler and a paper straw.

    What pens are we carrying today?

    In day to day use, I do like my FPs, however like you guys I have problems with gas pump receipts, fax paper, etc. Amazingly, the two best inks I have found are opposites: Shaeffer Skrip Black and Mont Blanc Racing Green.

    University Student: Cheap backpack alternatives?

    Marla beat me to it. I found a very nice leather briefcase for $5 at a second and shop. A little leather cream and is as tough as nails.

    Other than blue jeans

    Try two different options: Carhart duck pants and good old Wrangler khakis with cuffs. Either will look good with boots.

    My wife is a gracious lady who deserves to be treated as one. 27 years and she still tolerates me. As far as today's dating, my niece met a guy while at college and brought him to meet us. She told him her uncle was old fashioned and had a lot of guns! :)

    Very nice! I have an old Hunter 16 side by side that is getting a new buttstock due to the wrist getting broken. Took me forever to find an old Fajen.

    Bob Bettis of the S&W Forum made the following statement: "Guns with "character" and people with "character" share a common virtue. Those who know them tend to call upon them in times of need more than they do guns and people who exude only "value".
